Don't worry, I brought enough for everyone. ^_^
Okay, so, next PPC Gathering we all go to Oxford and take up residence in the house, and if we can keep from being kicked out, arrested/deported, or killing each other, we'll eventually have squatter's rights and it becomes ours. Right? {= D

Whoa it's been a while - a year or two since I posted on the Board, and more like 5 years since I was regularly around. Sad as I am to see the old Board go, ~15 years after I first heard about it, I'm glad that we've got a new community.
Howdy to all the new people - I don't suppose many now remember me, but I was a regular here from about 2005 onwards and I'm responsible for the ESAS agents (even though I only ever finished a couple of missions).
And now news: Tolkien's old house in Oxford is for sale! https://www.breckon.co.uk/properties-for-sale/oxfordshire/SUM190036
Only £4,575,000 so a bargain - but if we all chip in I'm sure we can buy it to make it the Official RL Home of the PPC. Sorry New Caledonia!
Elcalion, prodigal
Welcome back! Have a bird which sings Disney songs!

It's definitely in the right area for me (I mean, Oxford is always the right area), and at £4M it's only, ooh, ten times my budget... seems reasonable!
Looking at the floor plans, it has an entirely sensible six bedrooms and five bathrooms, along with a sitting room, drawing room, reception room, and breakfast room. Just the thing for a nice family home! Also the garden appears to be an entire national park, so that's a plus.
Amusingly, though, the kitchen is tiny. I think I actually have more cupboard space than that right now!
(Welcome back, Elcalion. ^_^)

I wish I had that much money, I'd definitely do it. XD
And welcome back as well!
Welcome back to the fold! In lieu of any weird or world-ending gift I would like to once again present this here Obligatory Discord Link, so hop on if you feel the need!
We're gonna get a ton of returning posters in the next few weeks, aren't we? For your gift (do you even need one?) have a portable nuclear jetpack.
Regarding an official PPC location, I think that's probably just a bit too expensive; but following on from this ancient thread may I suggest the town of Canon, Georgia?
